The CHANCELebit of the Excitectiaa in moving that it be read a second time to-morrow, stated it to be hiS intention to give 'every supPOrt to this Bill for carrying it through - that House. But if the Hon . . Gentleman who was concerned in the measure did not wish that 'it should proceed further, he should feel that he had done his duty in bringing „it in,' and the Hon. Gentleman might, if he thought it right, suffer the Order of the Day to drOp., . . Mr. Wm. SMITH exculpated the hien Hon. Gen:. tleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) from any blame, for having given his Majesty's consent to the introduflion of this business into the House, at, the time that he candidly declared his intention to oppose the claims. After a few words from Mr. Adair, Mr. Bankes; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Bill was . ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the ScotCh ,Tudicature Bill. On the question being ptit that the sill be now read a third time; • Mr. ADAM made some observations against the measure, which was defended by the Lord Advocate. The Bill was then passed.

WE this morning roceived American Papers to the 13th nit. extratis from which will be found in our subsequent Columns. The Embargo. has at length . produced some serious Insurreeions in America, and the President has been under the necessity of issuing a Proclamation against the Insurgents. It appears that the Embargo is highly disapproved of throughout the whole of the United States, and in those parts where the inhabitants have not, had re murk to force to resist that law, the most inge nious and whimsical Devices have been resorted to for the purpose of evading its operations. The folloWitig observations upon the .Embargo are extrnBed frbm a Paper which appears to be strenuously attached to Mr..jEFFERSON'S Adrnini- • stration : bat two alieinatives Offered theniselves :—a con tinuance of the . Embargo, or Wor. Serious as flee evils attending the former are adirated to be, those that could not fail to have ensued from the latter have been justly cdnsiclerecl as much greater. " Had we resorted to War—agatnst which Nis. Con shoilld the Declaration have been made ? There it 4 no one. so Quixotic at to say that War should have been waged b'otli against Englatisiand France, and their whole train. of Allies and Dependencies, etabracing All the nations of Europe. If not against both these Nations, where is the Casuist that could be relied upon to decide which had entitled itself to the distinaion of the first blow ? When both had injured us so deeply, would it not have acorn the appearance of partiality, perhaps of pu= atllanitnity, to have exerted our energies against One; at the very moment that we three/ ourselves in the ilroas of the other " Besides, what could we have gained by such 3 step.? Has France any thing to offer us in com pensation for the injuries ich would necessarily be infliaed upon our 'Com tierce ,by the British Navy, provided it were exposed to the perils of the ocean, and we were the declared Enemies of Bri tain ) No man will say she has. And what has 1 4 :nsland to offer for our going to war 'against her rival Nothing but Colonial submission aml the proatration of our commerce. We received last night Dutch Papers to the gist inst. from which we have extratied some very iqte-. resting Articles. The great length of the Debate, and the News from America, preventius from com menting upon them at length at present, but we e4nnot avoid calling the attention of our Readers to the Speech made by the Councillor of State RE,6- NAIILT DE St. j'Eat4 D'ANGELY, as the grounds of a Seautus Consultum fur uniting Tuseany to France, because it points out in distin&, unequivocal terms, the plans of universal dominion which BUONAPARTE has formed. There is some slight allusion in these rapers to the events which have taken place at Ca and, the Answer which, it is said, was sent by the Captain-General to the gritish Commander., We cemmunicated the substance of this Letter to our Iteaders ,some days ago. . 13cONApAt1ra has'issued a Decree, which was published at Itome on the Qtst ult. abolishing the sovereignty of•the l'opE, and annexing the whOle of the Ecclesiastical States to the Kingdom of Italv • The reason he gives for this daring att of oppression towards the Head of the Roman Catholic Chu! ch, and tvincli lannot out sitaie hic, awn authority in the mind of every follower of the Roman Catholic Faith, is, that the Roly Fattier constantly refused to declare war against the English. This event has, we are assured, been for some time expefted by his iti liness, and we have been assured also that fie was advised, hi case itshOuld at lait happen, to excom municate the ierench Ruler--a measure le which it Would not be wonderful if fie shbuld rietiiallk resort, , . . as it is well known that he has eXpresied a deep regret that lie Should haVe been induced to - take a journey to France for the purpose Of crowing an Usurper. Indeed this transgtion had operated so strongly Upon the mind of ,the Holy Father, that if driven to an exto-,mity, he was confidently extietaed to resort to such a me a sure of atonement and many 'persbns in Rome bad begun to speculate on its pos sible res ult, in all countries where the Roman Ca tholic-Religion is preiltiminadt. By the above 1:)L. ei•ee, all 'Cardinals; Prelate's, and Oilier . 'Officers of 'the famish Court, born in the Kingdoin of Italy , Were ordered to retire to the place of their birth . , 'before the fifth of thii month, en pain of forfeiting all their property. Ws have keen fairotired with th e perusal of a Letter from Halifax, dated the tit inst. which con firms the accounts in the American Papers of the diiiatisfaelton which prevails in the Northern Pro vinces of the United States; respecting the Embargo. On the 3oth ult. -fifteen ships sailed,frorn Halifax for the West Indies,, laden 'with flour. This LetteL mentions the report to which we alluded yesterday► of a French SquadrOn having arrived at St. Angus tine, and landed 4500 crien ; but it adds, that the report came in so vague a shape that no credit was attached to it. Indeed . it is well known that the harbour of St. Augusti►le ts.a bar harbour, and that ships of large size cannot enter it. ' A very interesting Conversation took' place • las t night, in the House of Commons, in consequence of some questions proposed byMr. W HITEREAD to his Majesty's Mitsisters,- and which received most sarisfaelory answers from Mr. CANNING. 'One of the questions propsed related to the .inaCii vily of the Force sent to the assistance of the KING of SWEDEN, under the command of Sir JOHN .MOORE. • Mr. CANNING stated, that the "Armament was sent to the assistance • of the KING Of SWEDEN, and . of course to co-operate in such plans of warfare as he might aired: it; in the interval which has relapsed since the fitting out of the Expedition, considerable changes had taken place in the postures Of affairs and in tile Military Councils of Sweden, that circutnstanca alone would be sufficient to account for the inactivity of our Armarnentlwithout . any blEime 'being attributable to the Bi itish Government. The Queen Charlotte, .ANnaews, has arrived at Portsmouth—ahe sailed front the Cape of Good Hope on • the . 16th .April, and from St. Helena on the •tst of May. She MI to with the China Fleet, and left them on the 9th inst. in lat. 40. N. long 36. W. the Charleipri (South-seaman) and •a Danish prize iri company. Letters received from Cadiz, state that the Mar quis DR HIJAR, a, determined enemy of French in fluence,. residing near Madrid, has, with the Whole of, his family and domestics, been put to death by a party'of French soldiers, • who, in compliance with the orders they had received, forced their way. into the house of the Marquis,. in the dead of the night, and murdered, in cold bleod, every person they dis covered, amounting to upwards.of thirty. Yesterday being Midsummer‘day, a Common-hall was held at Guildhall, for the eleaion of Sheriffs, Chamberlain, and other Officers, usually - chosen on that day.—Alderman J. J. SMITH, and C. S. HUN TER; were chosen Sheriffs ; it. CLARK, Eiq. was re-chosen Chamberlain ; Messrs. GALABIN and YzOwAtto, Bridge-masters ; Mr. J. Lynn was chosen Aleconner, in the mom of Mr. ENEVeR. deceased; together 'with the three.former ones of last year. The following CirCular Letter has been addressed to the General Officers commanding the several Mi litary Districts in South Britain : • " SIR, " Horse Guards, !WIC 23, 1898. " I have received the Commander in Chief's direetions to signify to you his Royal H igliness's approbation of your using your discretion in granting permission to a certain portion of the regular Infantry and Militia Troops stationed in the Ms t rid wider yoUrconstmind e notexceeding in number thefourth part of any battalion, kraissistin settin in the Ha y and ap proaching Corn Harvest. Hia . Royal highness wishes that this indulgence should be grimed with great caution, and to such men only as are to a certain degree perk& in their exer cise, and whose characters entitle them to-confidence. Coin mantling Officers of kepi - news must be responsible that their men are not permitted to work at a greater distance than two days' march from the camp or quarters and that the Adju. tam makes himself aciAtinted with the names and places of abode of the persons with whoni they work, who must be responsible that, on the shortest notice, every man repairs immediately to his company. (Sighed) " HARRY CALVERT, Adj.-Cat." MANCHESTER, JUNE "22,-4 am .extremely sorry to say, that the ming:tory weavers have met again this day, and evinced a more turbulent disposition than at any period of the dispute. They have burnt in effigy several respeOable matmfa6lureri, whom they`deem the most hostile to their claims, and stopped every loom in that part of the town which is unfortunately the scene of their unlawful meet ings. Many pieces of different goods have-been ma liciously destroyed by means of spirit of vitriol or aqua-fortis, which they artfully convey to the looms through the medium of a syringe, from which the destruCtive ingredient is squirted through the broken panes in the win6lows ; sometimes it isidropped upon the baEs•hung over workmen's shoulders, containing 4..),IERICIiN PAPERS. , . . ttrxe Yoatc, MAY 12.—The Froclam!ltion of t I'.resident evinces that a number of the inhabitao of VOrmont have opposed the Ethbergo Act ~,ftto. •strenuausly, that' coercive measures are requisite for the preservation of Order. This instance oldis taffection will, no doubt, be considerably exagger ated- by the papers in England, and, the ad.. herents of those "who are inimical to *Out Union. 13ut. when. so many instances occur, is it to be wondered at, that we should be called a divided.! people ? 'The proofs.of the assertion are fop Palpa ble. piiiy evidence thews that ahere ,are designing atrionuts whose aim is to . excite discoidaud rebellion, and as the EMbargo Decree operates se.:. verely upon individual interests, it is made the bug bear Of party and the text for. sedition. The inhabitants of Vermont are distingulehed for their habits of itidnitry and - Those who inhabit near the boundary lines carty on a con siderable traffic in brandjr, cbrn, and pot , Thus situated; like all new traders, they ,mast re ceive considerable advances from those merchants with whom they deal, Who reside principally, in Canada. 'Nothing but the itittrthption of,coaner cial transactionh has occasioned this disaffection, al though by ditrerent partizans it has eeti auiibuted to other causes. Semi have ascribed it to the ; trigues of BURR ; and ..e;:ett to a get w al wish among •the people, to sever froth the tlleou,' and to esta blish an independent separate Gaferinneet;. It is a certain fact, that the majority of the inha bitants of the frontiers are not possessed . of real pro perty, and, are. gefie'rally of a restless cf.racter. They do not feel the effects of civilization in the same degree as the inhabitants of the interior, ow ing to their habits of life and local situation. The vast range of country before them, and the predo minancy which they posess over the native Indians, with irlioth they are inthabits of ,intittiacy, gives theft] an ides Of independency which continually increases. Should the laws I* put in force against them for of fences of ally nature, they cite easily retire among the Indian tribes, and the change w , III nut be sensi bly felt by them, as they havebeen so long acCastom ed to a wandering life, znd the customs and manners' of the Indians are so correspondent with those -in which they have been practised. A Variety of modes haire . been adopted to elude .the operation of the late Ads. We ham been lu firmed, that some have adopted the following strata gem. A hill is seteded,, which stands ()tribe bound, ary line of Vermont and Lower Canada—On the top a slight building is erected, in winch barrels, pipes, and other articles are deposited. The construction of the house is Such; that oh the removal of a stone or a piece of wood, the whi)le edifice with-its con tents immediately falls on the British territory, by which means, although appare... ly accidental, the laws aft. evaded, and speculations to a large amount made by the execution of the scheme. , To speak 'earelidly, in a free Goveinrtient, if is very difficult to enforce the laws, where personal interest is so Much concerned as in our country. — It is a lamentable - 'circumstance that' national pa triotism is in the United States so often sacrificed at the shrine of avarice. • The arrival of General Mount/. at Charlestown must do away the unjust suspicions and surmises which have been industriously circulated to his pre judice, from motives of a sinister and secret nature. Prom whatever motives his integrity and intentions have been assailed, we hope'that those Who have il liberally attacked his character, will now, when cOti yinced of his upright dealing, exonerate him from the charges which they have alledged against him, the intention of which may easily he penetrated. APRIL 28.—Yesterday arrived the Ship Entir prite, WATKINS; 82 days from the Isle of France. On the 22d of February ; off the Cape of .Good Hope, spoke the' French Frigate La Caroline ' , from Europe, standing to the eastward, full of Men.— This may possibly be the Frigate that was said to have sailed from France with 200 OiIiCCIS and En gineeri On board. MAY 4.—lt was ctirrently reported yesterday even ing that a French Avis() had arrived in the . Delaware from St. Domingo, with 'Dispatches from General FERRAND to the *French Ambassador General TOR REAU, Illeationing, that ftom the scarcity of pro visions, he would be,obliged to evacuate the island with the French Garrison, and the Colonists. - -The situation of the. General would be the more alarm ing; at we oannot discover how he could provide for the means of carrying off his troops and the French families.
